Australia is often regarded as the great southern land but venturing just a little further south lies the world’s highest, driest, coldest and windiest continent – Antarctica - the southernmost continent on our planet. Out of the seven continents, Antarctica is the fifth largest in area. Owing to extreme weather conditions in the region, there is no human population there. Antarctica is the coldest continent on earth, as the lowest temperature recorded here was -89o C. On an average, it is 17 degrees colder than Arctic in the north. Antarctica is the windiest continent on earth. It experiences frequent wind storms, which at times speed over 300 knots at the sea coast. The best way to see this amazing continent is on an Antarctic expedition cruise or you can with a take an over flight on a Qantas A380! Expert Antarctic expeditioners are onboard to talk on the polar environment and history, video screenings depict life on the ground, and a camera on the flight deck gives you a pilot’s eye view of magnificent plateaux, vast mountain ranges and expanses of permanent ice. From the exquisite coastal region with its incredible icebergs to the majestic mountain ranges and stunning glaciers, you will certainly never forget this unbelievable flight. Antarctic visits are mainly concentrated at ice-free coastal zones over the Antarctic summer, the five-month period from November to March, in high summer there will be 20+ hours of daylight. Visiting Antarctica, truly the last pristine region of the world, in the southern summer is a rare and unique experience, surrounded by spectacular scenery and ice-filled channels. The constantly changing weather, scenery and colours provide marvelous opportunities for photographers and will leave you awestruck and sometimes overwhelmed. |
